Does Kathryn Jean Lopez believe the Aurora shooter, James Holmes, was possessed by demons? She does not say so. What she says is that a story by a Catholic priest who says possession is real and posits that James Holmes was in fact possessed by demons, is “interesting.” Are RTs endorsements? Of course not, DON’T BE RIDICULOSE! But when something is Catholic and ‘tarded, you can bet K-Lo is taking it for her gospel every time:
Here is the work of Fr. Dwight Longenecker, which K-Lo finds “interesting”:
Some say the demonic Joker drove Heath Ledger to kill himself.
Now it’s getting spooky. There was a weird phone message with bizarre guttural voices and moans. Was he demon possessed? Maybe. It happens.
Demonic infestation is a rare, strange and terrible psycho-spiritual affliction. In simple terms, a malevolent, separate intelligence infests the mind and spirit of a person. It takes over the rational faculties and dominates the personality. The phenomenon is real, but anyone who has ever dealt with the problem realizes that the demonic realm is complex. The human person is an intricate organism in which the physical, mental and spiritual aspects are totally interwoven. Therefore, in most cases, trying to diagnose the possibility of demonic influence is extremely difficult. [...]
Is James Holmes demon possessed? It is impossible to say without a detailed diagnosis. Even then, it is a slippery question. We are dealing with a reality that is rubbery. In many ways this is the wrong question. Better to ask, “Was James Holmes taken over by Evil?”
Yes. Something happened to the mild mannered science geek. He turned into a monster. Something twisted in his mind and heart, and Evil made an entry. Evil infested his life. It took him over. Whether the twist was through mental illness, some inner wound or some terrible dark intelligence, we cannot say. The fact that we can’t say what went wrong and don’t have a neat and tidy answer is the key to understanding the terrible conundrum of evil.
What else might have happened to the mild mannered science geek, besides turning into a monster? Well, we’re just spitballing here, since we are not a psychiatrist or even a Catholic priest so we can’t speak to the “evil” that he was possessed by, but we would assume “young man develops schizophrenia at textbook-classic age for developing schizophrenia” was rather more likely than “young man possessed by Beelzebub.” Sort of an Occam’s Razor kind of situation.
Probably not very interesting, though. Or, for K-Lo, enough brimfire, judgment, and adherence to medieval fanatic versions of sometimes-modern religions. We will try better next time.

Guns don't kill people Satan kills people.
Based on the assholes we've elected the last few years it's obvious that it's not bullets that kill, it's ballots.
and it's the Kathryn Jean Lopezes of history who wrote the Bible. sure would explain a lot, no?
Allowing demons to buy automatic weapons with 100 round clips is just the price we pay for Freedumb! Wait… Are these demons white?
"…..but we would assume “young man develops schizophrenia at textbook-classic age for developing schizophrenia” was rather more likely than “young man possessed by Beelzebub.”
Excellent!
I live in a bit of fear that I get my daughter her 30th year without this awful affliction falling on her. But, I live in fear most days.
We had an older brother who was schizophrenic; getting past the "textbook age" was an absolute weight off all us younger kids. We never knew if it was going to happen. Hmm, that's not very funny, is it? Oh well.
No, but I feel your pain, by proxy.
Well, at least you're never alone, when you're schizophrenic.
So that accounts for those extra footprints in the sand.
Why do you say that?
SHADDAP, let the man speak!
Youch, that's a tough hand to be dealt. Especially since the prevailing theory holds that the stress of dreading the onset of symptoms can help contribute to the onset of…
I definitely wish you and yours the best of luck, and a stress-free early-adulthood, to boot.
Thanks for that. Well, it's not that we have a definite history, but I remember her Mom (who was having "anger issues" stemming from her upbringing) recounting a time she saw someone in the campus parking lot leaning back into their car…and the ex/wife wanted to go and slam the door on her. Maybe I share too much. That should have forshadowed our marriage, right? Face palm!!
The daughter is fine and a prize to be proud of, but I do "pray" that she won't get overwhelmed as she begins her career. (Stop worrying JW!!)
Stop worrying JW! Most kids turn out just fine. I know it's not much of a consolation to you, but trust me. I grew up with a totally fucking insane bitch who specialized in throwing sharp objects and heavy furniture at her kids. None of us is schizophrenic. Depressed? Yes. Understandably. But you worked hard to raise your girl right, and she'll be just fine.
My partner adopted a little girl with FAS. It's a relatively mild case, but raising her has been a huge challenge. She just graduated high school, something we never thought she could do. So, don't worry. It'll be fine.
I'm sure there's more to it than just that one anecdote, but anger issues, even a lack of impulse control, do not contribute to a diagnosis of schizophrenia. As a result of an episode our eldest had a couple of years back, I researched the DSM criteria for most of the psychiatric disorders backwards and inside-out. Fortunately for us, a day or two after the Doctor had told us he'd been out of it too long for to have been chemically induced and therefore we needed to prepare for the long haul, he started a rapid and full recovery, and has been fine ever since.
I'm glad to hear that. Poor kid, that must have been horribly scary and confusing.
Seriously, and no snark:
This is the best they can come up with?
It's tough being a parent. Having kids is like giving hostages to fortune. You never know what you'll end up with. However, if it's any consolation, young men are more susceptible than young women.
I sincerely hope that your daughter is not so unfortunate as to suffer from this terrible mental illness, and that she reaches her 30th birthday safe and sound, J_W. You're a good Dad to your little girl.
Thanks a lot. Father of two boys, here.
Great, Booj. I try to make J_W happy, I end up making you miserable.
FWIW, I raised two boys to adulthood (STEP-parent), and they haven't killed anyone yet. They'll be just fine.
No worries. I have misery potential enough all on my own.
I sincerely wish you the best. A close family member of mine was just diagnosed as bipolar with manic and psychotic episodes at 36. I read the reports about Hughes and my heart goes out not only to the gun violence victims but also Hughes himself (yes I do) and his family. There but for the grace of god/ chance go I.
On the *plus* side, bipolar disorder can be controlled very well with medication.
On the minus, the medications are hit or miss, usually cause weight gain, and can cause various forms of organ damage.
Sounds like you know a lot more about this than I do, sweetie, so I'll shut up now.
Paging "Bobby" Jindal! Emergency exorcism on Aisle 10!
Plus one.
You know, Bobby, demons live in volcanos, which are direct gates to Hell. Who was it again wanting to stop all of the gummint volcano (Hell demon) monitoring, hmmmm???
Arre, just give up and call the bugger "Piyush," na? I'll bet it pisses him off no end.
Does James Holmes weigh the same as a duck?
Maybe he is made of wood?
Well, wood does float. And it burns.
Just sayin'.
He turned me into a newt. I got better though.
We did the nose…
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world K-Lo exists.
K-loser Soze!
Who is K-Lo Soze?
Edit: Damn.
A bad attempt at Keyser Söze
Seriously. Have you seen the way she mangles the English language? The devil's getting rusty in his old age.
I'm not convinced.
Demonization. An area of expertise for the far-right wingnutty company K-Lo keeps.
Something she ought to know PLENTY about. That's all that bunch of idiots do, attempt to convince their mouthbreathing followers that liberals are the real Hitlers Among Us, yada yada.
I believe in demonic possession what else explains what happened to the Republican Party.
I rely on Occam's Razor to provide plausible deniability.
Never underestimate the power of stoopid.
Never underestimate the power of
stoopidvast amounts of inherited money..To say nothing of stoopid in possession of vast amounts of inherited money.
Really,she's going to go with the devil made him do it?Maybe he did it to impress Jody Foster?
Is K-Lo trying to pin this on Wayne LaPierre?
I would say that K-Lo is possessed by Jonah Goldberg's tumescent penis, but that would be assuming that J-Glo actually has a penis.
Though it does assume facts not in evidence, let us assume that J-Glo does have said penis.
What we are then left with is that he has seemingly long been confused about exactly what he should do with it (said penis). And K-Lo isn't helping him with said confusion.
not enough flour in the world…
See, now that image would make me spit pea soup, which I haven't had in 40 years.
Pea soup vomit in 3, 2, 1…
"Demonic infestation is a rare, strange and terrible psycho-spiritual affliction. "
Actually, this should read "Belief in demonic infestation is a rare, strange and terrible psycho-spiritual affliction."
Take out the word "rare" and you've got it exactly right.
Alas.
o/t, but Actor apparently had surgery (according to his website) and has a hole in his
headback. That's gotta hurt!I know that skull-fucking is frowned upon but do we have any rules on other kinds of fucking?
It would allow for an extra penetration, yes.
Sorry dude – that sounds … uncomfortable? Frightening? Something I don't want to think about too much? Yeah, one of those.
The hole in the head, that was the last two surgeries.
I'm so sorry, dude. I wish there was something I could do to help, but I got rid of all my heavy-duty pain meds. I could tell you a story.
Actually, I'm fine. It was superficial surgery, basal cell carcinoma and I barely need tylenol. And not even the cool Canadian "three" kind. I was a little concerned because of where it was (below the water line, if you catch my drift, and I don't sunbathe, especially not nude)
In fact, if anything, the fucking stitches itch like a motherfucker. But thanks!
The facial ones, those I needed the Vicodin for, and got it.
K-Lo has been driven mad by being possessed by Frigidius – demon lord of not getting any.
I was going to say she clearly isn't afraid of her Frigidaire.
Zuul Libel!
Is James Holmes demon possessed? It is impossible to say without a detailed diagnosis. Even then, it is a slippery question. We are dealing with a reality that is rubbery.
Slippery? Rubbery? Evil? Ten to one, someone finds Father Longenecker lubed and dildoed up in a latex gimp suit before next year is out.
Longenecker. Need we say more?
Nothing like cherry picking the sure bets.
Are you saying that Mr. Longneck is low-hanging fruit?
He's a Catholic priest; his likely sexual activities are much more vile and harmful than that.
He's a Catholic priest who started out as an Anglican priest, but apparently was pining for the OG crazy.
And just who is qualified to give this "detailed diagnosis"? Oh, I know! Let's ask the pedophile crime syndicate in Vatican City!!
Wait, this Longnecker is a Friar. Don't they have different rules than Priests and Monks? Mebbe Slippery Rubbery Evil is cool if one is a Friar.
EeDit: And if that isn't one of the best names for a group of middle-aging, girth-enlargened, [moderately-demonically-themed] bubblegum-rock revivalist guys, whom have chosen spandex for stage wear, I'm at a loss to find better. Slippery Rubbery Evil
With TWO condoms.
For some reason I pictured a magic 8 ball – "situation rubbery"
She says that sex is uninteresting, however. Really? Hey K-Lo, that voice in your head screaming "Lick me, lick me!" ain't a demon. Stop projecting.
Oh ho but it IS a demon! There's a demon in her [area]!!!
Pussy troll?
Cunt goblin
Cunt gobblin'?
Someone needs a decent vibrator.
Or some sort of OrgasmoBot… Willing to take one for the team?
With that? Fuck no. Besides, I've got a girlfriend and I don't think she's appreciate that.
K-lo, your mother sucks corks in hell.
Wut, they won't let Momser have her own bottle o'wine?
Holmes: "I'm not a demon, but I play one in Kathryn Jean Lopez's head."
Demon: "I'm not James Holmes. I would rather play around with Kathryn Jean Lopez's head instead."
Reminds me of the journalistic integrity portrayed on the Simpsons by Kent Brockman when he says " I'm not saying the cat burgler is a supernatural monster, like the wolfman. But he could be"
It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
Oh, Mumblety! There isn't enough ROOM for a demon in KLo's head! It's full of flapping pink butterflies and little glittery hearts dotted on i's.
I'm fisting this up to "5." Above you are replies with 6,6, 6 pee's in turn. Beware, the Beast draws near! Somebody out there, plz *thwack* MB once more making it 4 six's, so we can negate the fateful outcome portended by this numerological voodoo spell!
Third Eagle of the Apocalypse, is that you?
Hey, I got that number right here in my hairline.
Why are you all shushing me?
Was that Bill Buckley that K Lo just through under the bus?
THREW! When dealing with an editor, always get your homonyms correct.
Well, to be fair, I'm sure Buckley was through with K Lo.
Aren't those homophones? Homonyms have the same spelling.
Sorry for making an ad homonym attack.
Your forgiven.
Take those nails off that chalkboard at once!
Homos, homos, homos. It's ALL ABOUT the homos, with you lot, ain't it?
Buncha fuckin' FAGS, the lotta ya!
Beats thinking about K-Lo.
Wait, if K-Lo is a homophone, wouldn't that make her a thespian?
"K-Lo, phone homo?"
Well, Derp!
Some kind of demon hit her with both the ugly stick and the stupid stick.
And don't forget the obesity stick.
And she would have no problem with that label as she is not PC and would take offense at "satiety impaired."
OK, but where did she get her conservatard schtick?
He wanted to be sure she wouldn't recover from the FIRST beating, I guess.
I blame Satan for neckties, wind chimes, girls who wear shoes with chunky heals, golfers, and the Star Wars prequels. But to blame him for the violence in this world is just silly.
Also, for gutta percha. I don't know what it is, but it definitely sounds awful.
Charles Sumner agreed.
It's good stuff. You can roll it up into fake boogers and put it down your classmates' shirts.
Some short girls just really like to wear chunky heels. (Cause we can't walk on the pointy ones.)
What's yer damage?
I don't get that.
I know, at 5'8," I don't understand, cause short girls in chunky high heels don't look taller to me. They just look like they are TRYING to be taller (and their ankles look too thick).
Tokyo. Thousands of nearly-identical-height Japanese girls in four-inch platforms. Which makes them all 5'5".
Actually, it's kinda cute, as I recall.
Clomping around does not make anyone look better.
K-Lo has the chunky that never heals.
Yesterday it was all a part of a government conspiracy to take away our guns. Today it's Beelzebub. Damn mutherfuckers are crazy, y'all.
Government = Evil (esp if Democratic)
Beelzebub = Evil
Same thing, really.
No shit. And they ain't gettin' better any time soon.
Or, you know, possessed.
I can’t see any harm in classifying mental illness as demonic possession, what could possibly be the downside?
In cases involving the criminally insane, demonic possession is 9/10s the law.
That was the way things were, back in the middle ages.
That's the "back" in "taking America back".
And torture was the cure. Make the body an unpleasant place to be, and the demon will leave.
Worked for me.
Or do I mean "worked ON me"?
I'm waiting until the guy from the "Psychic Kids" program weighs in.
The saddest thing here is that there are people out there who actually follow this woman's twitter account.
…in hopes of seeing an Instagram of her posing in the bathroom mirror.
NOT cool, dude! It is still lunchtime in some parts of the country!
'S OK. Some of us need to diet anyway.
That depends, the one definitive piece of evidence is this: did he make the homosex? Everyone knows that demons enter through the anus, via the P.E.N.I.S, and its wrigglings, that is simply a medical fact.
Too bad the shooter was not among the 40% that die during the homosex.
Marcus is on the 'puter as we speak, requesting additional research funding.
Requesting SUMP'N for sure. Does additional research funding come from hotboysexxx at fux.xxx?
Well, his intestines haven't burst yet, and EVUHbody knows that happens when the P-E-N-I-S enters the anus.
Hey. HEY. Which one of us is the medical professional here, buddy?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Everybody said Fraudulently_Joe was just a nice, regular quiet sorta guy. UNTIL (cue rising music with LOTS of theremin) …
K-Lo needs to loosen the cilice a little.
Now there's a word you don't get to use much in casual conversation.
Or maybe just lay off the Cilician cuisine.
Rubbery reality is a very good description of the modern Republican mindset.
We are dealing with a reality that is rubbery.
When did priests begin using rubbers?
It was that altar boy's stained robe. Church policy now.
As long as Wonket is accepting stupid theories:
Did CIA mind-control lasers drive Holmes to shoot people? Maybe!
Was it because of Twinkies? Delicious, golden cakes with creme filling? Maybe!
Could it be Holmes was from the future and was attempting to warn us about something (aliens)? Maybe!
I think your last one is it. James Holmes is Kyle Reese, and he was shooting up the theater to try and stop the Terminator. He failed, and it's still out here somewhere, and it will not be stopped.
No pity, no remorse… can't be reasoned with, can't be bargained with…
Wait, am I talking about Republicans? Yes. Yes I am.
No, no! He shot at the Terminator as IT was shooting up the theater! It's a government frame up!
You *do* realize that *that's* the latest conspiracy theory, right? I've had to boot several people I used to follow on Twitter because they're having multiple orgasms over every little detail of the case.
The saucer people, in league with the reverse vampires…
Sometimes I think my penis is possessed. Should I ask a priest to have a look at it?
Shouldn't be too hard.
I see no way that could possibly have negative consequences.
You're probably safe to do so as long as you've reached puberty already.
Post pictures here. We'll crowdsource your problem
If you're under 18, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
What you do after the age of consent is up to you.
KLO: Let Jesus fuck you!
Jesus is coming!
Let? How about, as SomethingAwful so coyly phrases it, "surprise sex."
I'm tired of looking at K-Lo. Please use someone else's pic in future posts.
I can't pinpoint it, but she looks better in this photo than I remember.
Maybe he was possessed by demons; or maybe a Death Eater compelled him to commit the massacre using the Cruciatus Curse.
You don't use a Cruciatus Curse to compel someone. An Imperius Curse is much better for controlling someone.
Dammit, you're right; I should have looked that up first. Now I'm hanging my geek head in shame.
Some people say that religion's last bit of usefulness to society is that it can provide a vague, if transient, bit of comfort in times of incomprehensible crisis in peoples' personal lives.
Thus it comes as a relief to see K-Lo and Mr. Longneck disabuse everyone of this sordid and freakish notion.
Even people in Inquisitional Spain weren't this deluded.
They might have been surprised, though.
ISWYDT.
From the photo it looks like K-Lo lost some weight.
It's that new pea soup diet.
I am also very bothered by Watermelon candy not tasting anything like Watermelon. Probably the Devil.
OT, but I have even more poor quality cell phone photos of that flycatcher bird (at one point, there were TWO of them perched on my bird feeder!). If you send an email address to my email address, or post a modified email address here, I will gladly send the pictures to you from my phone.
Lady, I've already sent you 3 e-mails. ;(
But my dear Cat in the Cat Hat, as nice as those were, none of them had an email. Is there any other way I can send pictures from my phone, or somehow send them to your flickr page?
Sorry to be so un-tech-savvy.
It would have just been, Reply to.
I'll try again and put e-mail in message body.
The flickr app?
Wonkettegtfo. At. Gmail.

It's the root beer barrels that don't taste like Stewart's and scrape the roof of my mouth that really causes me concern.
He must also have something to do with the blue raspberry phenom also too.
And what is red color supposed to taste like?
Cherry? Strawberry? Raspberry? Huh?
At least yellow (blech!) sorta tastes like lemon (or lemon floor cleaner).
Even more evil: Candy corn isn't really candy, and tastes nothing like corn.
Well I can tell you that when some weirdo gave me candy corn on Halloween, I'd throw it back at them!
It's a PLOT! (plotzes)
Circus Peanuts. WTF?!
Undoubtedly. Nothing else could explain the lack of watermelon taste in a watermelon candy.
And how 'bout them bananas?
Worse yet, the ubiquitous replacement of lime with "sour apple," a "flavor" previously created only by mistake with an A.C. Gilbert chemistry set.
I don't know anyone in real life who would *want* to eat a sour apple. Don't these eejits think this stuff through?
Is Kathryn Jean Lopez demon possessed? It is impossible to say without a detailed diagnosis. Even then, it is a slippery question. We are dealing with a reality that is rubbery. In many ways this is the wrong question. Better to ask, “Was Kathryn Jean Lopez taken over by Evil?”
Yes.
Slippery, rubbery, K-Lo. Sounds like a wet latex body blimp.
What have I *ever* done to you to deserve this? (returns to scrubbing eyeballs with bleach, bleeding at eyes)
Hmm. So now K-Lo is suggesting Aurora was her uncle at work? I suspect some underlying child abuse issues.
Grand Inquisitor Tomas de Torquemada may have been a batshitcrazy mass murderer, but at least he didn't write like a fan boy.
I came for the cool Batmotorcycle, Bain mumbling, guns and explosions. And all I got was a lousy demonic possession.
Will Dante do?
Beelzebub, please comment.
Definitely schizophrenic, delusional, and bat-shit crazy.
Oh wait … were you asking about Holmes?
Hey, can I sell you my soul? See, I'm not using it, and I thought you might have some interest.
It's not like there's a shortage … but if your put it up on eBay I'll be happy to bid.
So, no private deals, Biely?
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me.
Snarky: I have nothing but fond memories of my youthful schizophrenia. It was classic and timely!
Snark-free: I lived with a self-medicating (alcohol) schizophrenic for too many years and have stories you would not believe. I'm glad I got to live, but to this day wonder if he is waiting around a corner ready to kill me.
You all watch, its gonna turn out to be the neighbor's dog that told him to do it.
Either that or the pig in the basement where all the blood is on the walls. What the heck, is it really stupid fucking asshole people day? Just everywhere all over?
Ug….she needs to stop eating 4 tiers of Oreos before she writes these pieces of shit.
We told her oreos were gay, Pinchy. So she cut back to 3 tiers, in protest.
Hahahaha!!! oh god…thats funny.
Or, maybe he was raped by a priest as a child and that's what caused him to perpetrate such evil? Just asking questions. It would be irresponsible not to.
What else might have happened to the mild mannered science geek?
The football team.
Is James Holmes demon possessed? It is impossible to say without a detailed diagnosis
Are you fucking kidding me?
I'd love to see this guy's differential diagnosis:
"Hmm, could be schizophrenia, antisocial/histrionic personality disorder, delusional disorder, drug-induced psychosis, organic brain disease, or demonic possession. I'm gonna have to go with demonic possession as most likely."
I want to upfist you so hard.
(please take as compliment)
And he will make this diagnosis from the footage shown on network TV.
It'll be in the next DSM.
Geez, I've been waiting to post this
From
Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter
By Mario Vargas Llosa, translated by Helen R. Lane
Aha! I knew fish tacos were demon possessed.
Fish tacos are the work of the Devil!
A tasty, loving devil with chipotle.
Is "phishtaco" another word for a vajayjay?
More traditionally, "tuna taco."
This was made into one of my favorite movies!
Which?
Tune In Tomorrow.
Cool. Will look for it. Just stole the book from a friend. It's hysterical.
Sigh, for once I try to raise the level of discourse and add some CULTCHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and this is what I get.
wiki–
According to folklore, it is an evil monster-like man, often a stranger and often a white man, who seeks out unsuspecting Indians, to kill them and abuse their bodies in disgusting ways, primarily by stealing their body fat for various nefarious cannibalistic purposes or cutting them up and selling their flesh as fried chicharrones. Pishtaco is derived from the local language Quechua word: "pishtay" which mean to "behead, cut the throat or cut into slices"
So, basically, Rush Limbaugh.
Cultchah and buttsechs have always been the *worst* possible mix.
The Bible says that demons possess people. QED.
It also says demons possess pigs. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matth…
Who knew the Hawaiian Luau was pig exorcism?
Now I want some luau.
Father Longenecker's next piece: Every Catholic Priest who ever molested a child, and every member of the hierarchy that covered it up, were possessed by demons at the time and so none of them were responsible and you can't hold any of them or the Church legally or morally culpable.
no, they prefer to blame the sixties and the liberals for that. And all those hippies.
That does mean they have to be ritually purified though. I think a cross shaped brand will stop any further demonic intrusions.
Right on the old Dicky-Lee.
That was positively Reganesque.
I'm in ah.
Definitely retreaded.
What wooks said.
Shit. I missed that.
You'd think that if Satan was going to possess someone in order to wreak some havoc, he'd just go balls-out and possess a world leader that had a nuclear arsenal at his disposal.
You mean like Cheney did with W?
Operative word heah being "think." These people don't.
We now take you LIVE to the 9th circle of Hell, where Beelzebub denies allegations that he was involved in the Aurora shooting…
[Q]
"…No…I wasn't supposed to possess anyone on that date, though I'll have to check with my scheduler. Asmodeus was on call that day…could be him?
[Q]
I know what Ms. Lopez said. Look, I spend most of my time these days modeling for metal album covers. Not as big a take as it used to be, but I need to get by. NRO is just paying GOTCHA here.
[Q]
No, look, those photos were taken by paparazzi and willfully misinterpreted since it makes a good story in OK magazine. Lindsey [Lohan] and I are just friends, got it.
NO IT'S NOT. IT IS EXTREMELY EASY TO SAY, BECAUSE DEMONS ARE NOT REAL.
There you go again, Joe, bringing logic, reason, and sanity to the table.
We'll talk. Later.
For some reason I find it incredibly satisfying to know the devil is just chillin' in hell and cruisin' the Wonkette with the rest of us godless heathens. http://www.rpls.ws/class_descriptions/images/tiet…
You haven't met Our Biel_ze_Bubba, have you?
Hey, it is really simple.
If my doG didn't do it, then that other horned dood in the red jumpsuit did. Cuz there are really only two options, amirite?
And of course Eeevyl is spelled with a capitol E, excepting if it is the last word in the last sentence of my exposé – because Eeevyl confuses me like that, cuz, well, cuz reality is rubbery, so just shut up.
You know how else you can spell evil? That's right – B-A-R-A-C-K H-U-S-S-E-I-N O-B-A-M-A, that's fucking how.
Yeah, but I'm confused. I thought the other day they were saying God did it because of us killing all the innocent babies. Who keeps the score card on smites vs. evils?
Biel_ze_Bubba, dood. But god checks over his shoulder, because the Devil is the Father of Lies.
Hey! I resemble that remark.
Now that's just stupid.
Wait, we can say 'tarded?
YOU can. I can't. I get et.
So is K-Lo saying that he's not responsible for his actions? Because that's going to go over….. oh, so well in right-wing nutjob land.
Excorcising his second Amendment remedies?
Someone should tell her that in this situation, possession is not 9/10 of the law.
Congrats, you guys both just added a week to your stay in purgatory with those puns. I hope you're proud of yourselves.
That's not really a problem…
Lol, I just noticed your nick/avatar.
And who should know better than a devil/lawyer?
Personally, I think he is just fucked in the skull.
See, this is what happens when god casts out the devil. He could have just sent a card "Dear Lucifer, I'm sorry I got so mad at you. Please come back", attached to some flowers and BOOM! Everything's good.
But NOOOOO, He has to go pal around with the devil and ruin Job's life, granting the devil exclusive rights to the souls of all non-raptured-americans.
We have a mutually beneficial arrangement.
The ad agency agrees.
You never saw the Mr. Deity series, did you?
"Is James Holmes demon possessed? It is impossible to say without a detailed diagnosis."
No, it is not impossible to say.
It is extremely easy to say.
No, James Holmes is not demon possessed.
Demons do not exist.
Anyone who believes otherwise is a very stupid and/or mentally ill person.
That is all.
*brushes palms together to indicate a fait accompli*
M-hmm.
…without a detailed diagnosis
Christ on a fucking fuck, what kind of detailed diagnosis do they have in mind? Drill holes in his head to see if the demon escapes?
Yes.
That would be silly. I'm sure they have in mind the usual scientific methods.
That'll larn 'em.
You know what kind of evil I like? Karn Evil 9. Cool album cover, too.
Performing on a stool, 7 virgins and a mule. . . .
I noticed that there are no comments in this thread from Biel ze Bubba.
Coincidence?
I think perhaps not.
I was busy with my day job, is all.
Good to know Satan has a day job.
I have an office on K street. We'll be pretty busy, up until the first week of November.
The term "Interesting Piece" should never be juxtaposed with "Kathryn Jean Lopez." Never.
Now I'm ill.
You're not the only one. (barfs)
"Interesting piece of work" might pass muster.
Schizophrenia versus demonic possession?
How is that any different from say evolution versus create design?
I mean who can say why the tides rise? Teach the controversy.
Oh yeah, and second amendment as holy writ.
Well, it is a religion that reveres a man that hears voices in his head, drags his kid up a mountain to slit his throat, changes his mind, comes back to the tribe, and forces everyone to whip out their dick, while he whips out his knife.
Chop Chop!
It is only religion that would revere a man…
(fify)
And not only in the bad old days, either.
With all due modesty, this is a cliche unworthy of my/our intellect/s…
but Ms. Lopez really, *really*, needs to get down to the adult novelty store and buy one of the fanciest, most state of the art, vibratin'-est, vibrators they sell.
"Some say the demonic Joker drove Heath Ledger to kill himself."
Some say that you can find a fool to say most anything.
So in Catholic-land, I guess the Joker is actually real and a demon instead of a disfigured homicidal maniac, and I guess he must have appeared to Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson in a dream or vision or something like that.
Some people call me the Space Cowboy.
Maurice?
Woooo Woooo!
Will you please explain to me what the fuck the "pompatus of love" is?
Don't ask us, ask Jon Cryer.
Or alternatively, the Straight Dope.
"Some" say KLo is a heinous asshole.
"…Even then, it is a slippery question."
And we all know how them priests love it when it's slippery…
Occam's Razzzzzzz
Occam's Razzer? Is that like a Bronx cheer, for when somebody picks the most complicated, preposterous and unlikely explanation?
"The human person is an intricate organism in which the physical, mental and spiritual aspects are totally interwoven."
As opposed to the corporate person? They are infallable.
I would agree that the "physical, mental and spiritual aspects are totally interwoven" insofar as the physical brain is where fantasies about evil spirits, demons, angels and ghosts are created.
I can think of a few corporations that appear to be possessed by demons.
Don't be stupid, there's no such thing as Demons.
Holmes was acting under orders from a pack of deranged unicorn puppet-masters.
Next time you see a glitter encrusted rainbow, be scared. Be fucking scared.
Do Mormons believe in demons? Just wonderin' Need to keep my wingtards straight.
Sure, why not. It makes about as much sense as the rest of her "religion".
The devil is clearly too busy taking over bankers' souls to be bothered with some wackjob in Colorado.
I bet she thinks those "Paranormal Activity" movies actually happened, too.
Ouija boards! Moving on their own!
I hope the defense goes with "Satanic possession." Religious conservatives would work themselves into a frothy lather having to choose between admitting there's no such thing as Satan and losing out on the opportunity to send the guy to the gas chamber.
Umm … if history teaches anything, it's that religious types don't see this as an "either-or" proposition.
I don't know, I look at Malkin, Bachmann, Palin, Limbaugh…it's hard to NOT believe in demon possession.
Fuck these people. The rest of the world is preparing to move into the 22nd century, and they're still clinging to superstitious shit that a CHILD can see through. Just fuck 'em. I'm almost pissed off enough to wish something unfortunate on 'em. Like, if there IS a god, I hope it manifests its presence and godliness by dumping giant buckets of poop all over these assholes.
Oh,yeah, and SOMEbody PLEASE buy that silly bitch a Hitachi Magic Wand, or wutever those things are. Girl hasn't had any in so long, her brain's starting to turn, like cheese.
I read Mark Vonnegut's The Eden Express years ago, all about the author's experiences with schizophrenia in his 20's (among other things, his conclusion that we are all at the mercy of brain chemistry led his dad, Kurt, to write Breakfast of Champions). I don't remember a lot of it, except that one of his hallucinations involved "Nixon fucking chickens."
I tried to read it when a friend loaned me a copy — at the time, '93 or something it had gone out of print — and found I couldn't take to the prose style. But it deepened my appreciation for Papa Vonnegut and what the parent's experience of contending w/ one's child's struggle with this must involve.
Had these Nixon-fucking chickens been eating the Food of the Godz?
I read that book over 30 years ago, and I can't for the life of me remember if it was "Nixon-fucking chickens" or "Nixon, fucking chickens."
Twisting your head 360 degrees is good excorcise.
If that's the case, with the 100s of thousands dead in Iraq and Afghanistan, GW Bush must have had Satan himself fucking him right up the ass.
Nah, when a real American does it, it's ANGELS fucking them …..errrrrrrrrrr……….wait………, must consult Teh Bibble, I'll get back to ya.
Over 1 million. The Lancet/Johns Hopkins study of 2006 showed over 600,000 had lost their lives as a result of our little war, and you'll note that the killing, while slacking off some, hasn't really ended since then.
Clearly our gun control laws need to be updated. We require a background check, why can't we require a check for demonic possession?
Sure.
Are you insane? ____Yes ____No
Are you possessed? ____ Yes ____No
Simple, see?
Don't forget the html code that pops up a message when you click on "Yes":
"Are you sure? Federal regulations require you to answer NO before we can ship your grenades, body armor, assault rifle, and 6,000 rounds."
____Yes, I am nuts
____No, I just want my guns
Throw holy water on a potential gun-buyer and see if they burst into flames.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Is James Holmes demon possessed? It is impossible to say without a detailed diagnosis.
I'm not an expert, but I can say.
NO HE FUCKING WELL IS NOT.
To be fair, demonic possession would explain his unfortunate hairstyle choices…
Does he weigh the same as a duck?
This also explains pedophile priests.
Flip Wilson was right.
Wouldn't that mean that everyone who buys a gun is a target of Satan and if that is the case, wouldn't it be ok to have everyone who buys a gun go through an exorcism before they can leave with their weapons? Guns don't kill people, people possessed by Satan kill people. Got to take a break. My brain is on K-Lo overload. Hahahahaha.
Billy Occam was a real downer at parties.
i believe in demonic possession more than i believe in republicans.
I am not sure why Lopez would suggest this as there has been nothing to indicate he was a Republican.
Ah please that is the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard. Holmes didn't kill those people because he was possessed by the devil. He killed those people because he was mind-controlled by the Illuminati/Cabal. Sheesh.
Don't scoff. There's a new short film about the Bobby Jindal exorcism at Brown University titled Ivy League Exorcist: The Bobby Jindal Story and you can view it at http://cultjampro.com/ Like Bluto said, "Don't cost nuthin'"
Impressive geek cred historicat.
"Was he demon possessed? Maybe. It happens."
No, you superstitious nonsense-believing nitwit. It doesn't.
Writing like this just confirms that crazy comes in many forms. Nicely done, Kajello, or whatever your nickname is.

"Whether the twist was through mental illness, some inner wound or some terrible dark intelligence, we cannot say."
Nah, I'm pretty sure we can say it was not the last one, genius.
I'm used to grousing about all the confusion about demonic posession and shit, but…
Apparently, studying science automatically makes you a geek, even if you were about to flunk out. This is not even to mention how many science geeks (and not-geeks) I have met who are borderline psycho and/or NOT mild-mannered.
Mass murderer is not like Spider-man, dudes.
Oh for sucks fake
Doubt it. Lord Beez has been in the misery business long enough to have advised using an AK instead of an AR, and #4 Buckshot instead of Birdshot. Results would have been much more spectacular.
(Hugs, pats, right back) Thanks, MB, I am too!
Glad to hear that. I might tease you sometimes, but I care about you just as much as I care about all our other good Wonketteers.
I take it this means the facial ones were in the past, and you're all recovered from those? Here's hoping none of them recur, and you live a long and healthy life annoying the shit out of conservatives and Republicans.
I was hoping for more of a reaction. Ya work SO hard to get people's panties in a bunch, and … Wonketz, I expected more of ya!
Yeah, you might have more luck getting Wonk panties bunched using a sockpuppet, you're just too loveable otherwise.
You don't know how much I needed that today. (Hugs you)
Thanks.
Hugs right back.
Also, sounds like you could use a nice cup of tea.
That was simply scrumptious, darls. Here, I'll pour you a cup then, shall I?
God, no, please. Spelunking of the damned.
Have a cup of tea
Have another one
That. OMG. Is simply. OMFG. WONDERFUL.
(takes a huge suck on the vape)
Wonderful. Thank you so much. You dear, sweet soul.
Here, I brought you a Chinese folk tribute to the blessed plant.
Again, no worries. I'm just being a demon possessed hateful fuckstick, because I love the Lord. :-)

"Nick." That's *nice.*
Aw, that's so sweet. I think. (Hugs Boojum)
Sure was a bad couple of weeks, for all of us. Now we just moan about all the parties he throws while he's back from college ;)
In college *already*? Good grief. Why do they grow up so fast?
Is it bad the first thing that came to my mind was Stephen Colbert's most controversial character?
Yes. Very bad.
Wutchu doing for dinner this weekend?
